Ok, what is making him do this and how can I help? I bought them at the same place at the same time and they were the only two. Will he kill him or what?

he might kill him, or he may die because of that one beating him up.
maybe you should move that one that got beat up, to a different tank.
and treat him.
Silver dollars are schooling fish and like to be in groups of at least 6. If I am reading your sig correctly you have them in a 30 gallon? Possibly too small a tank for silver dollars since they'll get about 6 inches in adulthood.

Yea but they are small and as soon as my 55 is cycled then they are going into it. I thought it was 3? The pet shop only had two and that is why I got them to make sure I had them. I got the injured one in a quarantine tank right now with like 3 cory cats in there with it.
Most schooling fish such as tetras, barbs, etc. will appreciate being in groups of at least 5 or 6.
